comment update followed by “broken pipe”, read-only disks, and error
the line: " 1 Raw_Read_Error_Rate 0x000b 100 100 062 Pre-fail Always - 65536" and "# 1 Extended offline Completed: read failure 70% 7605 438875110" show problem with reading. You can try to disconnect the harddisk and re-connect it, but I doubt this will help

comment How can I connect to Netware, IPX and use BTRIEVE?
you can install DOS in virtual machine (VirtualBox for example) and run the exact environment as the old workstations. NCPFS is not enough to access btrieve - this is only for file access and I assume it access it through TCP/IP instead of IPX/SPX

I guess, you can try cleaning the whole video card with alcohol (keeping it in angle and pooring some alchohol) and wait until evapourates completely, and also rubbing the connector with an rubber eraser

comment How to lower the HDD temperature
another one: increase the RAM, kernel will keep more data in memory (bigger buffers and caches) and will access HDD less frequently

comment Adding a SSD drive to an exisitng dual boot system
doesn't matter, it will copy first 2x50 GB, the rest will be cut (data partition will be damaged, but you can fix it or resize it) and the data will be accessed from the old disk one

have you tried ntfsfix /dev/sdaX - have to figure out the proper partition number (sdXY) and don't mount it. This will mark NTFS partition as dirty and Windows will scan it on next boot.
